How is NARAL et al. like the NRA?

By Rob Vischer

Pro-choice Will Saletan on the Kermit Gosnell case in Philadelphia:

I'd like to think that in the months ahead, Pennsylvania's abortion providers and pro-choice groups will work with legislators and the governor to fix the regulatory problems that led to the Gosnell fiasco. But I worry that many of them won't. I've seen providers and their allies in the reproductive rights community circle their wagons before. I've seen them deny the significance of bad doctors, dirty clinics, and a woman's death. I've seen them resist inspections and dismiss abortion laws the way the NRA dismisses gun control.

Saleton's article is very damning, and he has all the more credibility for being pro-choice. I wish he had left out the reference to the NRA. I don't think it helps his case.
